Felix Archer Kranken is a co-founder of Bon's Burgers and Jack Walten's close friend. He was born on April 7th, 1935. Felix is compact and subtly worn: about 5'7" with a lean, slightly narrow frame that reads more wiry than muscular. Felix possesses a pallid, almost waxen face defined by unnervingly smooth contours and sickly, sallow undertones. Dominating his countenance is a pair of heavy, thick-rimmed black rectangular glasses, the lenses of which often catch a flat, milky glare that partially masks his wide, hyper-fixated, and terrified eyes. His complexion is drained of vitality, starkly contrasted by muddy, bruised shadows along his jawline and the faint stubble along his sideburns and jawline. A vivid, dark streak of crimson blood cuts vertically down the side of his forehead and temple, staining his pale skin as it trails down past the rim of his Buddy Holly-esc. Framing his visage is a disheveled shock of murky brown hair that hangs in limp, greasy strands. The unwashed locks part unevenly across his brow, with jagged, stringy bangs falling over his forehead and partially obscuring his eyes. In harsh or distorted lighting, the frayed texture of his hair takes on a dull, murky greenish-yellow cast, appearing brittle and neglected, while remaining shaggier and thicker around the sides and the nape of his neck. His extremities bear the most graphic signs of trauma and chaos. His hands, wrists, and lower forearms are deeply soaked in a rich, dark red crimson, creating a stark contrast against his pale skin and the soiled cuffs of his shirt. Together with the harsh, shadowy grain that clings to his silhouette, his appearance strikes a grim balance between an ordinary mid-century professional and a figure thoroughly defiled by violence and ruin. Felix is littered with small cuts and bruises, along with his broken nose and the gash on the left side of his hairline; the blood long since dried.

His clothing consists of a once-formal, mundane ensemble that has been thoroughly ruined. He wears a rumpled, button-down collared shirt in a muted off-white, now a dull olive-cream hue from filth, worn with a long, solid black necktie centered down the chest, and dark slate-blue trousers. The fabric of the shirt is heavily distressed, bearing deep stains of soot, earth, and dark crimson blood that blossoms in violent patches across the shoulders, chest, and arms. He has taken off his suit jacket, a blue that matches his pants, and has rolled the sleeves of his collared shirt up to his elbows.

His wardrobe and accessories read like a period-tinged working wardrobe that's been worn to comfortable resignation. He favors sensible leather shoes and, at odd moments, a flash of strangely colored, wacky patterned sock—small details that betray a faint, deliberate taste for wackiness despite everything. On his wrist sits a simple watch; his hands are long-fingered and ink-stained in places, the knuckles a touch raw from habit. There is a habitual, nervous movement to him—an ever-present cigarette held between his fingers and the occasional tremor in his hands—that, combined with the faint puffiness of his face and the slow set of fatigue around his mouth, suggests a life that leans on drink: not an accusation so much as a lived-in map of late nights and hard, repeated comforts that have etched themselves into his expression. Felix enjoys wearing funky patterned clothing like ties or socks.

Felix drove a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow I.

He has a firm opinion of himself, almost to the point of egomania, and is obsessed with "trustworthy employees". It seems more likely this firm opinion doesn't stem from a place of being egotistical or cocky but more so one of failure-intolerant cowardice.

Felix is a closeted bisexual and is deeply ashamed of his feelings towards men as the era he grew up in - and currently lives in - very widely disproves of same sex relationships.

Under his alcoholism and poor decision making, Felix Kranken seems to be a passionate and ambitious man, as he had long dreamed of an animatronic-themed restaurant and is quite proud of BSI's work of Bon's Burgers, stating that the employees worked "blood and sweat" for it's grand opening. Additionally, his first tape for BSI shows his passion for the concept of Bon's Burgers and happily welcomes all new employees that joined BSI and wanted to be involved in his passion. His ambition was shared with a hard-working and equally ambitious Jack Walten, which is how they became close friends. He also seems to be friendly and close with many people, even with the BSI employees, as Susan and Charles informally call him "Felix".

Other than his alcoholism, Felix’s greatest conflict is his internal battle between his genuine remorse for his actions and his fear of consequences. This conflict has made him the kind of man who can feel so much guilt to the point of contemplating suicide while simultaneously throwing away Edd and Molly’s belongings in a river to cover his tracks. The kind of man who can feel sorry for the poor treatment he gave his wife, Linda Thompson, upon finding her journal while also still indulging in the same thing that destroyed their marriage (alcohol). The kind of man who at his best is a passionate, hard-working, and caring friend and at his worst, a selfish, self-pitying, and impulsive coward.

Although both Felix and Jack equally managed the company as they were co-founders, Felix was forced to do most of the actual administration and management of BSI himself rather than Jack who worked behind the scenes and out of the spotlight. This implies that Felix (in his prime anyhow) was good at management compared to Jack and could be trusted by him to do so.

Felix Archer Kranken was born to a very wealthy family. Felix had a poor relationship with his family, forming a bad personal image of self-worth for himself with him always being told that he isn't able to fully commit to his goals and that he should amount to something in his life. When Felix was in college, he would meet and befriend Jack Walten, who shared the same idea as him; Felix during college conceived an idea of animatronic children's entertainment. Presumably around the same time, Felix would also meet Rosemary Peony, the girlfriend of Jack. In c.1959, he met Susan Woodings and Charles Brook who were both working at a mechanics job at the time. Through Susan, Felix would meet then begin dating Linda Thompson. At some point from the Late-1950s, Felix begins drinking, gaining an unhealthy addiction.

In 1962, Felix and Jack would found the Bunny Smiles Company to pursue their dream of animatronic technology. In 1963, the BSI Family joined CyberFun Tech's Technology of the Future fair, winning first place with whatever animatronic they submitted with. In 1964, Felix's drinking habits worsen as he and Linda struggle for a child, as described by Linda in her diary. In Mid-August 1965, Linda would begin living with Felix in his home, officially moving in. By this point, both Felix and Linda were married. Also in 1965, Felix and Jack pitched the animatronic entertainment concept to CyberFun Tech who were interested in their project. In 1967, Felix and Jack's shared idea would start coming to fruition when Bunny Smiles Company would enter a partnership with CyberFun Tech. On April 15th, 1967, Felix would record a company greeting to all the new BSC employees and talk about how excited he was for the future of the company. Not long after, Bunny Smiles Company would be renamed to Bunny Smiles Incorporated.

In c.1970, CyberFun Tech and Bunny Smiles Incorporated would begin working on an "Unnamed Bunny Smiles Restaurant" and would hire people for it, including Charles in October of that year and, presumably, Susan around the same time. For Christmas of that year, Felix and Jack would create Rocket, a doll for Edd and Molly Walten, the youngest children of the Walten Family. Felix's alcohol dependence becomes worse, though Felix refuses to address it no matter how hard his wife tries to talk on it. In Christmas 1972, Felix would record another message for BSI employees as his alcohol dependence starts to consume him, becoming a horrible pair as Felix becomes absorbed in the Bunny Smiles restaurant project with Linda being both concerned and emotional abandoned by Felix.

Around 1974, Felix lost contact with his family, though by this point he was the owner of his father's Rolls Royce Silver Shadow I.

Unlike Jack, who is more of an extrovert, Felix is more of an introvert.

The siblings, Edd, Molly, and Sophie Walten – the children of Jack and Rosemary Walten - affectionately nicknamed him "Uncle Felix", which showed how much love the siblings had for him. Felix had a brotherly relationship with Jack.

His major is business, and he hates pizza.

If he was an influencer and around for the age of the internet, he would be popular for the wrong reasons and get into internet drama.

He would hang out at a bar with Jack if they ever had a guys' night out.

His favorite color is blue.

Felix hates math as a school subject.

He would not have cared much about Chuck E. Cheese.

Felix would lose in a fight against Jack.

His favorite song is Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall by Ella Fitzgerald and The Ink Spots.

He would not like disco music, however, he would like Power-Pop, specifically Badfinger, but also The Raspberries, The Rubinoos, The Flaming Groovies, Cheap Trick, and others. He sees the style as a continuation of the Beatles' style of music as they came into the spotlight in his generation.

He is not into art.

Felix loves Louis Wain.

His usual drink is Shaefer beer.

He wears the same glasses as Buddy Holly.

Felix looks up to Jack as a person who he wants to be. Despite any 'love and affection' that Felix feels towards Jack, there is a lot of envy.

Felix isn't a religious person though he is superstitious, and, during his dark times, would pray in hope that something would hear him.

Felix's favorite film is Born Yesterday.

He has a poor relationship with his family and father, splitting ties with his family not long after his father passed away.

Felix loves golfing.

Felix majored in business in college.

Felix hates pizza.

Felix has tools in his trunk and tends to not clean up his things.

He had a ton of Looney Tunes cartoons of the 60s.

His favorite color is blue.

Felix takes medication to help with his receding hairline. The medication doesn't stop the receding, though it does give him a thicker mullet.

Felix would love dark chocolate.

Felix wouldn't be an intimidating man, no matter how hard he tried.


A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that affects brain function. Effects are often short term and can include headaches and trouble with concentration, memory, balance, mood and sleep.

Concussions usually are caused by an impact to the head or body. However, not everyone who experiences a blow to the body or head has a concussion.

Some concussions cause the person to lose consciousness, but most do not.

Falls are the most common cause of concussions in adults and very young children. In children and teenagers, concussions are common among athletes who play a contact sport, such as American football or soccer. Most people recover fully after a concussion.

The symptoms of a concussion can be subtle. Symptoms may occur right away or in the hours and days after an injury. Symptoms can last for days, weeks or even longer.

Common symptoms after a mild traumatic brain injury are headache, confusion and loss of memory, known as amnesia. The person may forget the event that caused the concussion.

Physical symptoms of a concussion may include:

Headache. Ringing in the ears. Upset stomach. Vomiting. Fatigue or drowsiness. Blurry vision.

Other symptoms of a concussion include:

Confusion or feeling as if in a fog. Amnesia surrounding the event. Dizziness. A witness may observe these symptoms in the person with a concussion: Temporary loss of consciousness, though this doesn't always occur. Slurred speech. Delayed response to questions. Dazed appearance. Forgetfulness, such as asking the same question over and over.

Some symptoms of a concussion occur right away. But sometimes symptoms may not occur for days after the injury, such as:

Trouble with concentration and memory. Irritability and other personality changes. Sensitivity to light and noise. Trouble with sleep. Feeling emotional or depressed. Changes in taste and smell.
